Cover art for Missing Piece lyrics by Recoil

It's about finding someone who completes you for the first time when you've always gotten what you wanted. You're in awe and speechless for the most part and all you have to cope is your mind and body, hence the line "Sometimes is a lonely place". It's not about being somewhere lonely but rather having something that's lonely sometimes. Brief interactions, thoughts, etc that make the feeling of despair go away; but in the end the narrator realizes that it's all in their grasp. "Sometimes I held the missing piece".
